first I bought these, st205 calipers, rotors, lines.



then to make them bolt on, I shaved off a few mm from the mounting points





remove old pads and hardware and give a quick paint job





then got new pads, shim kit, pins, ect



and installed in the calipers



next step is
1. getting the 205 rotors trimmed from 315mm to 298mm
2. getting spacers, either 10mm or 15mm (I need to test/measure, then install them)
3. bolt on (I'm not sure if I'm gonna tap my hub or use nuts/bolts), bleed lines, drive

I'll update as I get things done.

Amazing info. How hard is that caliper trimming?

no I don't want GT rotors for GT-Four brakes because they don't fit, I already have GT-Four rotors.

they hit the ball joint sideways, the diameter has nothing to do with them clearing the balljoints. you have to play with the offset of the disc to push them away from them, but every car is different I guess, so I'm sure you'll make them work on yours.

the 205 rotors clear my balljoint just fine, at least 3-5 mm. The only prob I have is the caliper sits on top of the rotor and one caliper bolt goes in, the other didn't.

hmm, that's odd, I didn't run into that at all, and the 3-5 mm clearance on the balljoint is an issue, once the car is on the ground and you turn the wheel, the suspension will flex enough to allow contact.

I'll take pictures of my hub / ST205 disc bolted together, I can't see why yours wouldn't, unless ST and GT hubs are slightly different after all.

Sweet, man. I'm got my calipers and rotors from Jim (thanks for the trade, big guy biggrin.gif) and I need to buy that pin and shim kit with the pads. I'm getting my calipers powdercoated in candy red with clear. Should look sweet.

Reducing the diameter of rotors u'll reduce the braking torque...Why upgrade callipers only? The biggest part is given by the diameter...using the same pieces u'll have only a little advantage...

no way to do this conversion without grinding or doing custom pieces... argghh

I know its been done, I'm more interested to know if Dustin got them finished and put on his car.

I agree with Culp. I'm starting to think the ST and GT knuckles are in fact slightly different. Luckily, I'm fabbing up brackets for my ls430 calipers all the way around on the celi.

We just bought a house with a 2.5 car garage and we're moving in less than 4 weeks, everything's been on hold until then.
I'll be doing the rears also with the fronts.

I drilled and tapped the hubs m14-1.5, got 25mm stainless bolts, had the rotors trimmed to 300mm, and over a year later I finally got around to installing them.



more to come in a few days.
